AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ANRI Toriart “Charlemagne” – vintage hand-painted chess set – this gold/silver metallized variant is very rare – With original box + ANRI chessboard 36.8 cm.
For sale: an elegant and rare vintage ANRI Toriart 'Charlemagne' chess set, complete with its original box featuring shaped compartments and the inscription 'Charlemagne' inside the lid.
The set stands out for a particularly dramatic color scheme, with metallized-looking finishes that confer its rarity:
dark side with armor and metallic gold details on a dark base
light side with metallized silver armature on a light base
This variant is much richer and brighter than the more common color options available on the market.
The pieces are finely molded and hand-painted, with great attention to detail (main figures, knights, and towers in a medieval style).
The original certificates of authenticity are present:
Under 'King' and 'Queen' you can see the original ANRI / Toriart stickers (as shown in the photographs).
There is also a Toriart sticker on the box.
